More than just a shell!

Modern rear-ventilated rainscreen façade systems (VHF) for new construction and existing buildings combine energy efficiency, sustainability and flexible design.

Modern construction requires durable, flexible and resource‑conserving solutions that combine cost‑effectiveness, comfort and design. At the same time, living space is becoming scarce, which is why existing buildings are increasingly coming into focus. They offer good conditions for energy‑efficient renovations as well as for the implementation of vertical extensions, densification or hybrid construction. The façade plays an important role here, as it significantly influences appearance, energy efficiency, and the indoor climate. ZF ZIERER façades provide ideal solutions for this. The high‑quality fibreglass‑reinforced plastic (GFRP) elements enable efficient renovations, extensions, and design upgrades within the framework of a rear-ventilated rainscreen façade (VHF) – even in structurally sensitive existing buildings. In addition, ZF ZIERER façades impress in prefabricated house construction with high fit precision, simple processing, and short construction times, while GFRP also scores with durability, colour stability, and low maintenance requirements. Rear-ventilated rainscreen façade systems (VHF) structurally separate insulation and cladding, thereby protecting the masonry, improving the indoor climate and enabling energy savings of up to 50%.
